The prices of shallots and garlic are starting to rise. The current average price is Rp 36,000 per kilogram (kg) for shallots and Rp 38,000 per kg for garlic. According to hargapangan.id, on February 15th, both commodities even reached Rp 40,000 per kg.
The Indonesian Shallot Association (ABMI) predicts that shallot prices will fluctuate due to the impact of floods. Garlic prices are also predicted to rise. This is caused by the bad weather affecting several regions in Indonesia, including Brebes. As is known, Brebes is a major shallot production center that supplies one-third of national needs. Therefore, the large number of shallot farms at risk of crop failure due to bad weather can affect market prices.
